A lot of people email
me asking the way to start some program or another. Perhaps the
best advice is simply to start writing down a layout for the program:
once you start writing down ideas or code you'll start to get a
feel for your project. There are two standard methods of program
design: the top-down approach and the bottom-up approach. Top-down
programming involves writing code that calls functions you haven't
defined and working through the general algorithm before writing
the functions that do the processing. Top-down programming is, to
a good degree, a very abstract way of writing code because it starts
out by using functions you haven't designed, and that you perhaps
do not know how to design. The bottom-up approach to programming
is the opposite: the programmer writes the basic functions she realizes
will be necessary at some point in the programming and then work
up to the more complex parts of the program. more...
